Interesting idea I read today

It's getting to be like when the Mexicans crossed over to America. They would cross in 100s and hope that most would get through.

Just saw of the news that a group of 150+ immigrants just tried to storm the channel tunnel. They are breaking into lorries and vans and the French police can't seem to stop them. Things are getting nastier. Check the BBC website.

That sounds as if you'd walk across if the tide was out

I'd already have to row ( if the tide was in) to Wales!
I live on the opposite side of the Bristol Chanel toLlanwern

Problem solved then.

After reading this they won't want to come here!

Who - the Welsh?

How do we stop them parachuting in, though? I suppose we could bring back barrage balloons!

There's always Skype...

Sorry Galen we have to look at the bigger picture. Perhaps you could row out to Wales if we don't push it too far out?

anya I'm referring to no 3 on the list. I need Wales attached to England or I won't get any work to pay for the cruise Ship!

I like number 3 and 4 on your list Anya.

Galen I thought you enjoyed a cruise?

toddles dutifully off to check Jane's thread

anya - if only! Check my 'Its not fair thread*

Can't sail off Wales, my work is allocated to me from Cardiff!

According to eye-witness reports, the French police seem to have no idea what they're doing...

Too much Jane

I never said they would aggie! Of course it would be in association with local police/army. The French have been asking for help with this ++

I like your ideas Anya

It isn't peacekeeping it is policing , in Calais . I think they need to be invited ? Can't just pitch up and start ordering people about ?

Too much anya? aggie of course you can have armies of another country on your land. It happens all the time: Peacekeeping forces have been around for years. No fighting required!

The answer is so patently obvious I'm surprised it's not been implemented before.......

To save England from invasion by foreigners of all shapes, sizes and religious persuasions.

1. Seal off/brick up the Channel Tunnel
2. Re commission the Martello Towers and man them with the latest in 21st century weaponry
3. Extend Offa's Dyke and float Wales out into the Irish Sea
4. Rebuild and reinforce Hadrian's Wall to keep the Scots out (or in depending on your point of view)

Have I missed anything? Perhaps I ought to have started a new thread jingl but your instructions were too complicated and, besides, this one was just sitting here going nowhere

TGIF!

You cannot have a foreign army on your territory , the army can patrol on our territory

They're not very happy with the whole situation which is understandable. The soldiers would be no threat to France just dealing with the illegal immigrants instead of the police. Similarly the navy could patrol the shores as required.
